How does a doctor repair my orbicularis oculi or is there absolutely no cure?

Asked By:Friendly6971 in Nyc

My orbicularis oculi was damaged from my lower bleph 12 years ago and a canthopexy 4 years ago (to try and fix my lower lid retraction) made it much worse. My eyes don’t fully close all the way - it’s affected my entire face - I look distorted. How does a doctor repair something like this or is there absolutely no cure, no hope at all?
